ACTIVITIES
NGO Activities : Sangath is a NGO founded in Goa in 1996 with a mission to promote health in all aspects, focusing primarily on mental, behavioral and developmental health issues. Although Sangath works across the life span, our main areas of work have been in the fields of child development, adolescent and youth health, and mental health. Sangath has grown by leaps and bounds since we started Goa’s first multi-disciplinary child development clinic with voluntary contributions from our founders in a one bedroom flat in Porvorim, north Goa. Over the years, the need to reach out in the larger populace has seen a policy shift in Sangath’s activities from direct service provision in centre based clinics to a public health model aimed at increasing the coverage of basic interventions for child development, adolescent health and mental health. A key element of our philosophy is not to replace the state and private sector services, but to strengthen them by integrating affordable and effective interventions with the goal of scaling up through sustainable health systems. Sangath recognizes explicitly that NGOs have an extremely limited reach in the Indian landscape and it has fashioned itself to develop innovative strategies of closing the treatment gap for mental disorders. One of our most innovative strategies to use relatively low cost human resources or existing human resources, by empowering them with knowledge and support from more specialized personnel.
